Hobby Sludge Bell

The Hobby Sludge Bell is a sturdy plastic bell with a hose that is used to thoroughly clean the substrate.

The Hobby sludge bell makes aquarium maintenance a lot easier, as it consists of a sturdy plastic bell and a 2 m long hose, which makes it easier to vacuum the soil thoroughly. In addition to the bell, the jumbo sludge bell has an extension part so that it is not sucked off with a larger ground height or a ground that can be easily swirled up. To assemble, the drain hose is slipped over the socket provided on the sludge bell. During use, the bell is immersed so deeply in the aquarium with one hand that the air can escape through the drainage hose. Now carefully suck at the other end of the hose and, as soon as the water runs out, hold it over a sink or bucket. While the water is flowing, the sludge bell is carefully dipped into the ground so deep that it is not sucked off with it. The sludge is separated from the substrate and actively sucked off. Particular caution is also given with introduced substrate fertilisers that are located under the gravel so that they are not accidentally sucked off.
